Jerry Richardson is undermining what has shaped up as an exciting finish, Sally Jenkins writes. The 81-year-old Panthers owner will sell the team in disgrace following Dave Henderson Authentic Jersey allegation of workplace misconduct of a sexual and racist manner. Writes Sally:Jay Novacek Jersey Club owners have surveyed a variety of speculative causes for a slow corrosion in ratings and public goodwill, including anthem protests and other off-the-field headlines that have dominated the news. But at this point, owners must admit that they have driven a lot of the antipathy themselves, with their suicidally retro, cigar-waving conduct. Those revenue-scarfing, soft-seated luxury box dwellers can’t seem to get out of the way of their own product.

The brain eventually found its way to the brain bank and onto the table of Ann McKee, a leading researcher in the field who has authored numerous CTE studies. Hernandez marks just her latest high-profile diagnosis.

The Falcons’ first regular season game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be difficult to win. The Packers got solid production from quarterback Aaron Rodgers 锟斤拷 311 yards and a touchdown in addition to an interception 锟斤拷 but Green Bay’s defense shined, holding the Seahawks to 225 total yards and forcing a three-and-out on half their drives. Seattle also converted only half of its first downs into another set of first downs or a touchdown, lower than the league average for Week 1 (66.8 percent) and significantly lower than its conversion rate from 2016 (67.3 percent).

Strength: Let’s start with the head coach. It’s fair to ask if Los Angeles stumbled upon a generational talent in Sean McVay. Inheriting an unwatchable, stuck-in-the-mud, lifeless, vanilla Rams offense, McVay has succeeded everywhere Jeff Fisher could not. McVay’s rapid and wondrous development of quarterback Jared Goff is somehow not the top storyline here when you consider the utter dominance of MVP candidate Todd Gurley on the ground.
